Some of you prefer to listen to podcasts rather than watch videos. If that’s the case for you, please head over to my podcast channel on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/BTD1stStepsPodcast

For those of you who would rather read text, here is a summary of what I mentioned in the video and podcast:

In order to follow the Blood Type Diet, first of all, I have had to minimize the amount of processed food and maximize the amount of whole foods that I ate. I also had to find clean sources of food, such as organic vegetables, grass-fed meat, free-range eggs and poultry, as well as wild-caught fish.

These are steps that are recommended by anyone promoting a healthy way of eating. But for the Blood Type Diet specifically, I have had to replace a number of ingredients that are harmful to my health. Since I am a Type O individual, I have had to replace all the foods made with wheat, sugar, dairy, corn, soy and pork, all of which I ate on a regular basis in the past.

What does it mean when it comes to my daily diet? That means I have to shift my eating habit by eating a lot more grass-fed red meat, fish and vegetables and a lot less grain-based food. This is what I’d call a “crowding out” strategy. When I fill my plates with beneficial foods, I get a wonderful feeling of satiation so that I won’t be craving sweet or starchy food, both of which have contributed to my ill health and weight gain in the past.

As for beverages, I had to replace my beloved coffee with something else that is beneficial. I found green tea, yerba mate and lemon water to be excellent replacements.

In the next video and podcast, I will be sharing some of the things that surprised me when I embarked on the Blood Type Diet. Stay tuned.
